New Patient
Chronic pain and its attendant miseries
under the consolation
of medical labels.
I am suffused
with knowledge of past futility
wanting to be disproved
by the new patient.

On a Bike
Abetted by the kindness
of a slope
at dusk
with the proverbial
wind in my hair
all the problems of the day are surmounted.

To Write
To be in the midst
of a press of bodies
warmed by the midday sun
or to remain in the dispassion
of a solitary sunrise.

Tuesday's List
buying cat food
reading Proust -in year three or four
and rushing to soak up the light before it all ends.

Pen
A pen has power:
held lightly
in a mold of fingers
transforming
wordlessly
into a cat's
batted prey.

Cardinal
I lose the strain
of the crickets' song
at the sight
of your old red crest
closer to me
than you have ever been
so that I begin to doubt
recognition of you.

Loss, Deferred
It is like the craving
for blueberry pancakes
stacked or strewn
dusted with sugar
tasting them so cleanly
in my mind's eye
and deciding against fulfillment.

Creativity
It does not come from a stone
insensible to the lashings
of wind and sea
but from a palpitating heart
wrung yet again.

Epiphany
Sight focuses on the familiar:
evergreens tossing
in wind and snow
where a sparrow had been waiting all along.
